Good Afternoon All,

My name is Austin and I live in Wilmington NC. I have kept freshwater tanks while I was younger, I am looking to start the saltwater hobby with my son.

New build set up I am entertaining :
Tank:
CADE REEF 600 S2
Light:
Radion XR15 G6 Pro LED Light
Return:
Vectra S2 - Mobius Ready DC Return Pump (1400 GPH)
Flow:
VorTech MP40mQD - Mobius Ready QuietDrive Propeller Pump - EcoTech Marine
Heater:
200W Titanium Aquarium Heater System - WiFi - ink bird
Skimmer:
Quantum 120 Protein Skimmer - Nyos
Fleece:
ReefMat 500 Fleece Roller Filter - Red Sea

Does this set up look adequate?

And if so what is the best route/plan to add all the equipment?

Start with clowns/tangs with weekly 10-% water changes , then are live rock around four months?
Welcome to R2R! I'm new too and the community has been so helpful.
 
Welcome to the community! Cade is an awesome tank! I just started a 200 gallon and two things that have helped me a ton is UV preventing bacteria blooms and not doing a water change. In the past I was crazy about water changes on a new tank and tanks became too clean with Dino’s to follow.
Once you let nutrients build up then start your weekly changes. Gl and happy to follow a build thread if you start one
:)
